Animal welfare is in crisis. Could you help us build partnerships to tackle the problem, and rally support throughout the community?
If you have a customer-focused mindset, experience of managing events, and a knack for building relationships, we have an opportunity to join our passionate and driven Fundraising team.
The pandemic pet boom, poor breeding practices and the rising cost of living mean that rehoming centres, like Bath Cats and Dogs Home, are contending with unprecedented numbers of animals with complex medical and behavioural problems. Now, more than ever, we need the support of the community around us to ensure that every cat and dog has the opportunity to enjoy a healthy life and a happy home.
The Fundraising and Partnerships Assistant will support the Corporate Partnerships Manager and the wider Fundraising Team to deliver and develop our engaging programme of events, and exceptional supporter care and stewardship.
In return, you’ll play a key role in a passionate and driven team. You’ll work across the charity and immerse yourself in the world of animal welfare, in order to provide a first-class experience for our supporters.
We commit to being kind, inspirational, dedicated, open and honest, and expert. If our values match your own, and you are inspired by the work that we do, then we’d love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities
• Provide excellent customer care to supporters, community groups, team, and volunteers.
• Plan logistics, and delivery of events like the Bath Half Marathon.
• Build strong relationships across the charity to deliver events and respond to queries.
• Deliver engaging communications to enhance supporter experience.
• Co-ordinate and deliver tours of the BCDH, including animal care demonstrations.
• Support our incredible Volunteer Community Fundraising groups to meet income targets.
• Manage income processing, coding and reconciliation of donations.
• Ensure supporter data is securely managed in line with GDPR.
